I have a form with a button where the caption is
\<Next
where the N is the hotkey, but PicturePosition is set to 14 - No Text - Picture is centered, and text is hidden (for hotkeys). This button is then triggered when the user presses Alt+N. On this form is a chado spelltext control. Very infrequently I have users report that when they're typing a description into this spellcheck control and they type n or N the Alt+N next record behavior is being triggered. This is very, very difficult to reproduce but we have reproduced it firsthand and know for a fact that the Alt key is not being pressed. On further examination, if I open the debugger, and just hold down the n button inside the chado control, it will fire Alt+N. It appears that when chado is firing it's spell check, which creates the red underline squigglies, it then alters keypresses into Alt+key instead.

Any ideas on mitigating what I can only assume is a bug in the Chado control?
